1874 would generally be the year the chapter was founded not the the year of the token.

Here is one issued by the Franklin Chapter in Farmington Maine (Number 44 RAM). This one is much clearer that the date (1879) is the chapter founding date as opposed to when this token was made.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Vintage R.A.O.B. * silver gilt Primo jewel with red moire silk ribbon and buffalo horn suspension. Hard to date but the style of the star is reminiscent of late Victorian/Edwardian decorations. That coupled with the king's crown would indicate somewhere after 1902, possibly for the Coronation of George V. . Overall length 90 mm. Jewel 35 x 28 mm. *Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes  |
